Complementary to experimental studies, computational biomechanics has become useful
tool for the understanding of human foot biomechanics and pathomechanics. Its findings …

Finite element (FE) modeling has been used as a research tool for investigating underlying
ligaments biomechanics and orthopedic applications. However, FE models of the ligament …

The objective of this study is to develop a computational framework for investigating the
dynamic behavior and the internal loading conditions of the human foot complex during …

Diabetic foot is an invalidating complication of diabetes that can lead to foot ulcers. Three-
dimensional (3D) finite element analysis (FEA) allows characterizing the loads developed in …

Background Minimally invasive fixation using crossing screws was believed to produce
satisfactory clinical outcome whereas its stability in early weight-bearing remained …

This paper presents a visco-hyperelastic constitutive model developed to describe the
biomechanical response of heel pad tissues. The model takes into account the typical …

Finite element (FE) analysis is a computational modeling technique in which a system of
algebraic equations is used to calculate the displacements, strains, stresses, and forces in a …

Hallux abducto valgus (HAV), one of the most common forefoot deformities, occurs primarily
in elderly women. HAV is a complex disease without a clearly identifiable cause for its …

The human foot is a complicated structure comprising 28 bones (Figure 1.1) and numerous
muscles, ligaments, and other connective tissues. To facilitate the foot in weight bearing …
